Personal Bio
I write code for the web, mostly frontend, often the whole stack. I've built real-time collaboration tools, e-commerce from scratch, tax automation for UAE businesses, and live-streamed classrooms. Now I'm co-founding Octane Innovations. I care about fast pages, calm interfaces, and details that make people smile.
